I held her close to me'Cause I know she breaks so easilyAnd then I told herBut I knew no matter how I tried to console herShe'd just do the best she couldBut there are times the best in no damn goodAnd no matter how you try to be kindThere's always still a part of you you leave behindWhen it falls apart

Chorus: There's no easy way to break somebody's heart

I lied and told her she'd be fineThough we both knew it was just a lineI had to do it'Cause I'd a' said anything to help me get through it

Then she reached out for my handAnd her simple touch was more than I could standAnd I had to turn away'Cause I knew all the hurtThat she was feeling I was feeling too'Cause when it falls apart

There's no easy way to break somebody's heart

She could've gotten angryAnd made me feel like a guilty childBut I realized that never was her styleI wanted her to hurt meAnd not treat me like a friendI wanted her to say there'd be somedayI'm come crawling on my knees to ask her back againBut she acted like a lady till the endOh, what a lady

I thought that she'd break downBut she smiled at me and never made a soundAnd I guess she understood in her wayCause her silence told me everything she could not sayWhen it falls apartThere's just no easy way

There's just no easy wayThere's just no easy way to break somebody's heart.
